I have been searching for a great diamond for an engagement ring and was using the following to try to find the correct diamond.
Cut: Ideal Round .75-.80ct (looking for a cut like Tiffany & Co)
Color: D-E
Clarity: VS1 or better
Depth Range: 60-62.8%
Table: 53-57%
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
All was good till I saw this:
“The symmetry on an Ideal cut diamond must be excellent and graded by AGS to get Ideal. GIA does not and has not every graded symmetry in the same way as AGS. It is possible to have a diamond with a good symmetry from GIA and a AGS0 from sarin and what appears to be and are called H&A by some companies and it is also possible that that diamond is very beautiful. If the polish is also good its beauty could be greatly increased if it was Excellent."

So now I am confused how do I know if the diamond I select with a GIA report has ideal Symmetry?
